So, the demon they fought was actually being manipulated after all and they discover yet another dark secret.

I must say, Mathias has his hands full in these latest episodes. It's a scary world for him and his party.

Well, to be honest I am a bit disappointed. I thought Matty would have a few clever tricks up his sleeve to buy a bit of time before he got the sword delivered to him. However... on a positive note, the one thing I really love about this show is its rapid pacing. [If it was any other anime, it would take 3 episodes between locating and uncovering the villain to him making his appearance before the hero... and here we got all that within 1 episode. Not a bad deal if you ask me.]


I guess it just goes to show the power gap between the two. The Demon is just overall more powerful and has more experience and has also lived longer.

Between 3 overpowered mc anime in this season, I'll have to give Shikkakumon the edge over Kenja and Leadale because Shikkakumon has life-threatening battle first. It'd be boring if the mc win all the battle too easily all the time. Not every show needs to be like One Punch Man.

Great episode! This is the toughest enemy Matthias has fought yet. Will Alma and Lurie give him the sword in time?!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Every second counts!!! So let's watch the sky for a bit then have a chat with the king and his guards...

Lets take the shortest route!!! Lands at the academy rather then literally on the castle...

If we trained, endlessly, for generations, we might have a small chance of beating him!!!! Yet, somehow, Mattius still concludes he has a chance of beating him as he is now, alone.

Iris hide after your attack so he stays on guard!!! Stays and watches him..

Looks like the demon was just a test for Matty and the rest. Giluas definitely had his moment of hilarity for pwning off Folkia to ordinary folk while he's the provincial lord, that's for sure.

The final journey to locate the demon's boss, starts from his own past creation as Gaius in a hidden chamber full of weapons and food, which is his own experimental lab before his reincarnation. And the final boss is Zardias, the most dangerous demon whose seal is broken, and Matty and Co. in their current states, even if powered all the way up, it still wouldn't be enough to take him down.

This is the ONLY time where Matty really needs all the help he could get, and with Zardias incoming, only Alma and Lurie can do the job of finding that one last magic sword while him and Iris hold him off. This is a stake to the death with humanity on the line, and there's no time and room to think.

Whack it all, Matthias Hildesheimer.

I do like how Iris was eating meat all the time during the group's travel to the hidden chamber. XD

Either way, Zardias was broken free of his restraints and it's a race against time to put a stop to his plans of destroying humanity. You can already see how Matthias isn't strong enough to win this fight unless he has the unique sword that could give him the edge in this fight.

So, aside from the comedic moments early on in the episode (Iris getting knocked out by the "preserved" food was funny), this episode was pretty serious and I do like to see how this fight will conclude.

In the episode, I liked it because Matthias and his friends are trying to find someone behind all the demons, but this enemy is too strong for him, so he defeats this demon. Remember that you created a weapon that you might be able to

At least Giluas wasn't after political power, he likes his own physical and magical powers just fine, he assumed temporary control and authority for the briefest time to appoint a provisional local lord then moved on. And the King near the end, I like him, he's not friggin' prideful, useless, obstructive or playing some political power chess like other cliche king on other isekai titles.

Hmm so he didn't defeat and seal this demon lord last time or maybe it was even earlier from his past life?
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I called it in a previous forum post that Matty was going to battle/defeat the demon king at episode 12. I hope "speedrun" the anime doesn't disappoint.

As bad as this show is I really enjoy it when I don't think. Sometimes you just got to go with the stupid. Also for whatever reason the lazy animation always cracks me up. The wide shot of the two girls falling out of the sky was them just floating slightly towards the ground. That shit cracked me up.

Kek look the cliffhanger. No way. They, actually, Matthias, really gonna fight the last boss on the last episode, with such a false first desperation, but you actually really know how everything end later. Dang, not even gonna give this show a slight kind of tease in order to fool people to hope for a second season. Come on, production commitee xd. However, with how everything goes on, well, at least Iris the black dragon still on my heart and be the sole reason i am that much cringe, no matter how generic this thing is. Case closed.

Kek, you got me, bru. That all shit were honestly hilarious. Don't forget about a mere guard trying to argue with the king decision. Oh boy, what an episode xd.

Alma and Lurie ticked me off. He said hurry to the treasury, break in, apologize later. They wasted precious time by stopping to watch the demon appear and pleading with the guard.

Although his crest excels in close combat. His current emblem seems to have a considerable weakness compared to the other three symbols.

Basically the protagonist is hard to beat, but with his current crest the protagonist is weakened and becomes more beatable.

This is definitely what audiences who hate anime with overpowered protagonists really hope for.

Great episode, went by fast. For the first time we see an enemy whom even Matty is struggling to defeat, should be interesting to see how it goes. Just one more episode left. 5/5 episode.

It's quite the miracle how nobody has been suspicious on Mathias being so all-powerful and having a lot of knowledge which even the brightests minds in the kingdom don't have.

So Matty found someone that he couldn't beat. Sacrificing his life seems to be his last resort in defeating Zardias.

Only one episode left.

Found out that the demon controlling the demi demons was actually a puppet made from the puppet master Zardias. And Mathias had trouble defeating Zardias in his current standing, of course he had a trick up his sleeve to defeat him though. Can they take any longer getting that sword? They're taking a nice evening stroll throughout the capital smh.

Those retarded girls really want Mathias to die. First they stare at the demon while it attacks mathias and then they argue with the treasury guard. What the fuck happened to the plan smfh. While they’re standing around talking the mc could die. Literally no urgency at all stupid girls

You can say he "pawned it off" but that was clearly the responsible thing to do.
He's using his temporary authority to make an official leader. He doesn't do it himself because he's an S-Rank adventurer and has no experience with something like that. If anything trying to rule the town would be an abuse of power.
Heck the fact that he chose the first person who stepped up also helps make sure that the person he chose does not only have experience in an authority position but is also fit to be in one as he showed initiative, calmness and rationality in a situation where many would be too overwhelmed. Now undoubtedly all of that was unintended but it does work because a quality of a leader is "stepping up" when no one else does. I'd like to imagine Iris has the constant weight and physical force of her dragon form, though I know that'd create way too many inconsistencies it's funny if it were the case.
Anyway hoping the finale will be good.
